The risks of fire in bars and restaurants

The risks of fire in bars and restaurants are a constant concern. These spaces, due to the frequent use of hot equipment, flammable oils and chemicals, are highly susceptible to fire. In addition to material damage, fires can result in serious injuries and even human lives, representing a significant threat to workers and customers safety.

The media often reports alarming incidents, such as the recent fire that scared customers in a mall in Greater Recife, or the incident where a restaurant's kitchen was affected by flames in downtown Santos. There is no great effort to find news from other fire such as Shopping de Maringá, South Aracajú or Santos Pizzeria, not to mention the most impact of Shopping São Paulo that was closed after a fire principle in a food court.

These events highlight the severity of the problem and the urgent need for effective preventive measures.

Data from the Sprinkler Brazil Institute reveal a worrying situation: only in the year 2022, 379 fires were recorded in commercial establishments, including shops, malls and supermarkets, as well as 333 incidents in public meeting places. These alarming numbers highlight the urgency of implementing measures that are more effective than current fire prevention systems in kitchens.

Given this scenario, it is imperative that owners and managers of bars and restaurants adopt additional measures that can ensure the safety of their establishments.

Investing in fire monitoring and detection systems, as well as proper training for the team, is crucial to mitigating risks and preventing tragedies. However, it is important to recognize that these measures, although essential, may not be enough to avoid the beginning of a fire.

With the advancement of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the development of intelligent systems, a new perspective on fire prevention arises. These technologies allow not only to detect fires in early stages, but also identify trends and standards that may indicate an imminent fire risk.

Bridgemeter: The smart solution to prevent kitchens fires

To prevent kitchens fires, one of the most effective measures is to adopt a solution that uses predictive analysis to detect environmental and possible deteriorations, acting preventively to prevent initial ignition.

Bridgemeter, a IOT (Internet of Industrial) solution developed by Above-Net, is exactly this solution. Monitoring in real time a variety of critical parameters for kitchens, such as temperature, power consumption, equipment status and opening hours, Bridgemeter offers a proactive approach to fire prevention.

With strategically installed sensors in kitchens, power frames and even fire fighting systems, Bridgemeter collects and stores data continuously. Using advanced analysis algorithms, the system is able to identify changes in environmental conditions and automatically warn of possible fire risks. These alerts trigger emergency action programs, allowing operating and maintenance teams to quickly act to avoid serious damage.

Bridgemeter is a robust and reliable solution designed to increase the operational safety of kitchens. In addition to offering fire protection, the system provides an immediate return on investment, warning of potential risks even before a fire begins.

With complete control panels, Bridgemeter offers an intuitive interface with real -time readings, analog and digital information dials, as well as historical features, alarms and notifications. This information can be accessed remotely through computers, tablets or smartphones, allowing constant follow -up and a quick and efficient decision making.

Monitoring of fire fighting systems

In addition to providing predictive analysis to prevent fires, Bridgemeter plays a key role in monitoring fire fighting systems. Even if establishments are equipped with sprinkler, there are risk of failure in the system due to a variety of factors. Bridgemeter can help mitigate these flaws monitoring critical components, such as water pressurization pumps in the pipes.

In a scenario where a pressurization pump is not operating correctly, the pressure required to trigger sprinklers may not be achieved. Bridgemeter, when detecting anomalies in these systems, can promptly warn those responsible, allowing quick interventions to correct the problem before a fire occurs.

Another situation that can compromise the effectiveness of the fire fighting system is the inadequate maintenance of water reservoirs. If, after maintenance, the water level in the reservoirs remains too low and this failure is not identified in time, there may not be enough water to combat the fire when necessary. Bridgemeter solves this problem by monitoring in real time water level in reservoirs, identifying leaks or human maintenance errors. This ensures that reservoirs are always ready to provide the necessary amount of water in an emergency, avoiding potential tragedies.

What are the benefits of Bridgemeter?

The benefits of Bridgemeter go beyond the simple reduction of the fire risk, providing a number of advantages for owners, managers and clients of bars, restaurants, hotels and malls that have kitchens. Among these benefits are:

1. Heritage Protection: Bridgemeter prevents or minimizes material damage caused by kitchens, such as loss of equipment, food, furniture and utensils. In addition, the system reduces repair costs, renovations, fines and compensation, providing a significant long -term economy.
